Oil-free broccoli soup with wakame flakes

Broccoli soup with wakame is primarily for vegans who don't consume iodized salt. Additionally, this recipe also incorporates a healthy 2:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, but only in small amounts. Our recipes with flaxseed are more effective.

One gram of dried wakame brown seaweed covers a person's daily intake. Since the body has a one- to two-month supply of iodine, you can simply take more weekly. Dried kombu seaweed, on the other hand, provides 14 times the dose. Raw laminaria seaweed provides almost double the dose and would be dangerous if dried. The boundaries between too little and too much are particularly narrow for iodine and selenium. For details, see the nutrient descriptions.

A similar alternative to iodine is the recipe for Erb-Lycopene Soup with Tomatoes. Both broccoli and tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an important anticancer substance. See the article "How to Prevent Cancer ? The Basics of Cancer Development."

To prevent iodine deficiency, you can also add more wakame. This should be done only within the limits of necessary requirements, taking into account the frequency of such recipes.

Instead of using 500 ml of vegetable broth without added salt, you can either make it yourself or simply use 500 ml of water and vegan bouillon powder. You can use chives according to your taste, so you can add a lot more if you grow your own and like them. Black pepper is a matter of taste anyway. But black pepper greatly enhances certain healing properties, not just turmeric.
